Convert Thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit to Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius
Convert Thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit (BTU(th)/(lb·°F)) to Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(g·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
cal(th)/(g·°C) = BTU(th)/(lb·°F) × 1
About Thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit
The thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit (BTU(th)/(lb·°F)) equals exactly 4184 J/(kg·K) (derived: 1 BTU(th) = 1054.350264 J; /lb/°F). Numerically identical to cal(th)/(g·°C) because both are defined via the thermochemical calorie. Used in older American thermodynamic tables. Water ≈1 BTU(th)/(lb·°F). 1 BTU(th)/(lb·°F) = 4184 J/(kg·K).
About Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius
The thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(g·°C)) equals exactly 4184 J/(kg·K) (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J). The CGS unit of specific heat dominant in older US chemistry and biochemistry. Liquid water has a specific heat of almost exactly 1 cal(th)/(g·°C). Slightly smaller than the IT counterpart. 1 cal(th)/(g·°C) = 4184 J/(kg·K) = 1 kcal(th)/(kg·°C).
